.the colour of me.

a breath of warm air,
we can breathe again.
we know we are the bird song
trapped in my ribcage.
melt the frost off my lungs
with not candle but warm sunlight.

try not to set me on fire.

with that magnifying glass over me,
i feel inferior,
ladybug in the peach tree.

i am trapped,
butterfly in the net.

i am vunderable,
like a chalk drawing in the rain.

i am delicate,
the flower stem easily snapped.

i draw you in
with the colour of me
hold you close with my sweet smell
and never let go.

but i come, so someday i must go,
and the colour of spring washes away with summer rain,
flower petals float on the surface of puddles everywhere.

i too, fade.
the colour of me,
and the colour of spring.

rainbows whirl away into the drain,
and i wake with your song in my head,
all the colours of me shining in through the window.

with a breath of warm air,
they wake,
and come to play next spring.

Rewind. Play.

THE COLOURS OF ME RETRACT FROM THE WINDOW,
YOUR SONG FADES FROM MIND AS I GO TO SLEEP,
AND RAINBOWS LEAP FROM THE DRAIN.

THE COLOURS OF SPRING,
THE COLOURS OF ME,
I TOO, GROW EVER BRIGHTER.

EVERYWHERE, FLOWER PETALS RISE OUT OF PUDDLES,
THE SUMMER RAIN DRIES UP AND LEAVES THE COLOURS OF SPRING VIBRANT,
I GO, SO SOMEDAY, I WILL COME.

I RELEASE MY GRIP ON YOU,
AND YOU WALK AWAY FROM MY SCENT,
THE COLOUR OF ME ACTS AS YOUR REPELLANT.

THE BOND HEALED,
I AM STRONG.

THE PICTURE REDRAWN,
I AM SAFE.

THE BIRD IN THE SKY,
I AM FREE.

THE LADYBUG GROWN TO BE THE WOMAN OF THE WORLD,
I AM IMPORTANT.

TAKE AWAY THE MATCHES AND BLOW OUT THE FIRE.

WITH FREEZING WINTER AND SNOWSTORM,
STEAL MY HEART AND FREEZE OVER MY CHEST.
TRAP THE BIRD SONG IN ME,
AND WE SAVE IT FOR NEXT SPRING.
WE WAIT FOR THAT BREATH OF WARM AIR,
AND I HOLD MINE.
